Pennoni Panels: Community Building: How do we bridge the divide between universities & neighborhoods

Thursday, October 7, 2021

3:30 PM-5:00 PM

Tension is all too familiar for those who work at, live in, or are tangential to, universities. Parties struggle over space, definitions of “neighborly”, and what it means to build meaningful relationships, particularly when it comes to an ever-shifting population of students and families who have inhabited these neighborhoods for generations. One way to combat these divisions is by inviting students and community members to come together to collaborate and speak openly about cross-generational communication. This discussion will continue to build community, by talking about perceptions, tensions, and the realities of being neighbors.
